The Library, City, WRESTLING TONIGHT DUKE-CAROLINA DUKE GYMNASIUM r E. H. SOTHERN LECTURE . WEDNESDAY NIGHT 8:30 VOLUME XXXVII CHAPEL HILL, N. C TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1929 NUMBER 56 IE. He Botliere Will Give A Dramatic Recital Here Tomorrow Might at 8;30 Hamlet," "Othello," "Lord Dun dreary" Will Be Some of Plays from Which He Will Recite Scenes. Dramatic Lecturer By J. E. DUNG AN - Tomorrow niht E..H. Sothern, 'internationally known actor and pro ducer, will be in Chapel Hill to de liver a series of dramatic readings from plays that' he has appeared in during his half century on the stage. The place is Memorial Hall and the time is eight-thirty. Admission will be by Student Entertainment cards or by single tickets, which will be sold at the door at one dollar each. "This marks the first time that Sothern lias ever visited the University, al though he trouped through the Caro linas and the South many times dur ing his earlier days. When he left the stage some two years ago Sothern ranked as the lead ing Shakespearean actor of the pres ent age. Sothern, the son of an ac tor, was born at New Orleans, Louisi ana, while his father and mother -were playing in that city. When he -was fifteen years old he took up the study of painting. However, the lure of the stage-inborn in him was re sponsible for his making his debut in a. nlav which was called "Sam" and was written by his father. Sothern's ' road to fame was no easy one. He spent some nine years before he became an accredited actor His first lead part came in 1888 with his portrayal of the romantic come dian in "The Hierhest Bidder." In rapid succession he played the leads in "The Prisoner of Zenda." "The Dancing Girl," "The King's Mus Veteers." and numerous other hits of the period. The year 1904 marked a very definite turning point in his career when he began his long association with the woman he later married, Julia Marlowe. For more than two decades the two starred in Shakes peare's works until the recent illness of Miss Marlowe compelled mem w sever the partnership that had been lucrative and hannv for them. Dur ing the last year of their starring to gether they rang up the world's rec ord for the largest paying audience at an indoor Shakespearean perform inna when at the Poli Theatre m UVV " - Washington, D. C, the box office col lected $31,000 for eight performances Now Sothern is making his first tour in a series of dramatic lecture recitals. He has long wished to speak on several subjects concerning the theatre, and his notable career ffives him the unusual vantage poinl . of having something , of definite value and importance to. impart. Beside being an actor, Sothern is also a playwright and author. Some of the plays that, he has written are the ioiiowing; iuwc "The Light That Lies In a Woman's Eyes," "Stranger Than Fiction," and (Continued-on page four) Final Exams Will Start March 16 T.:J.

H., Sothern (above) is probably the foremost living portrayer of Shakespearian, roles ; he will give a recital night. in Memorial Hall , tomorrow WEAVER TO GIVE MUSIC LECTURE Will Be Given in Person Hall at 4:30 Tomorrow Afternoon. Tomorrow aiternoon at 4:$u .m the lecture room in Person Hall, Mr. Weaver will give a talk which is to be the first of a series of lectures on modern music. These will be . continued for two or . three months at special , times to be an nounced. The first lecture will be giv en over largely to a discussion of the type of musical treatment which mod ern composers are using, with an at tempt to explain some of the rhyth mic and harmonic peculiarities that characterize much of the modern music. Professor Weaver will play a number, of illustrations during the course of the, hour, particularly some short numbers by Sibelius, and Le Chant de la Terre (by de Severac, one of the most modernistic of the modern French composers). It is suggested that people who will be interested in coming to these lectures from time to time during the spring try to .make it a point to come to this first one, inasmuch as it will give a background on which many remarks will be made in con nection with the music to be listened to at other periods. All students or residents are cordially invited to at tend thjs series of lectures..' Di Senators Will Discuss Plan for Insane Sterilization Delivering the Washington birth day address here last Thursday before University of Georgia students and the Georgia Press Institute, Dr. Harry W. Chase, president vof the University of North Carolina, utter ed a warning against taking too lit erally ' what the heroes of the past said and did." . . Lauding the greatness of Washing ton, "whose figure towers among his contemporaries", Dr. Chase stressed the point that, were Washington liv ing today, he would'doubtless do many things quite differently from the way he did them two centuries ago. Too many peojple are prone to con sider in concrete terms what the great leaders of the past would do in our time rather than the spirit that animated them, Dr. Chase said, "To follow a great leader", he said, "is not necessarily to do what he did. It is perhaps not even to be lieve what he believed. It is rather to go about our present task in the spirit and temper that distinguished him. . "We do not of necessity cherish our leaders best when we 1 adhere blindly to each jot and tittle of what ever system oi thought they may have laid down, or to the details of whatever cause of conduct the pur sued. j 'The letter killeth, but the spirit maketh alive'. It is the spirit qf greatness with which we ought to be concerned". Dr. Chase said that a friend of his told him the other day that "there is no point whatever in preaching a doctrine like this to college students The friend said that Vif there ever had been a generation in the world's history that had already dispensed with all respect and Veneration for he past it .was the, generation that was growing up now-a-days. He said that m his opinion they had no veneration for anybody or anything and what were we coming to anyhow when .the great principles of Thomas Jefferson you know all the rest, I am sure. JNow 1 am convinced that were Thomas Jefferson, alive, and running for office, with the same platform that he used in his y own campaign my friend wouldn't vote for him for dog-catcher. I think he would prob ably call the police. But he thinks o: himself as a great Jef f ersonian Well, he isn't. His whole outlook on life is totally different. "Jefferson believed in man as creature that ought to, be largely let alone under conditions as free and as stimulating as you can possibly make them and that under such conditions he moves upward. My friend be lieves that man ought to be regulated and controlled, saved from himself at every turn, which is exactly what Jefferson did not believe. Now Jef ferson may have been right or he may (Continued on page four) The meeting of the Dialectic Sen ate tonight will be given over largely to a discussion of this resolution: "Resolved, That the Dialectic Senate go on record as favoring the plan of sterilizing insane persons before ad mitting them to asylums for the in sane." Due to the fact that this matter is at present a rather pertinent ques tion through the entire state, a lively discussion is expected to take place when the Dialectic Senate meets to night at 7:15 in the Di Hall, New West Building.

Glee Club Returns from : One of Most Successful Tours It Has Ever Made Burglars Break In Bull's Head Book Bazaar But Baffled Club Well-Received In Its Con cert Here Last Night; Wes ley Griswold Features. CRITICS PRAISE MRS. BAILEY New Bern Audience Applauds Her Play More Heartily Than They Do Paul Green's. The crime wave at the Univer sity is not over yet, according to Harry Russell, custodian of the Bull's Head Book Shop. Twice in as many weeks burglars have visited the book shop. Two weeks ago the Bull's Head was broken into and a small amount of money was taken. Sunday night the same operation was attempted, but it is thought that the burglar was unsuccessful because none of the money in the cash register was taken. .
